Commercial Real Estate (CRE) lending can be a powerful growth engine for banks—but only when managed strategically. Many banks limit their expansion due to outdated, one-size-fits-all concentration policies that don’t account for their unique capital profile. Instead of restricting growth based on arbitrary regulatory thresholds, banks can quantify their true capital capacity using data-driven analytics.

📥 Download the CRE Concentration Risk Management Plan and learn how to:
✔️ Unlock hidden lending capacity using real capital stress testing
✔️ Align growth with capital strength—not arbitrary limits
✔️ Proactively address regulatory concerns while maximizing profitability
✔️ Benchmark your CRE exposure against peer banks and national trends

Your CRE Lending Strategy Should Fuel Growth—Not Limit It

Many banks treat the 300% CRE concentration threshold as an ironclad limit, fearing regulatory scrutiny if they exceed it. However, this standard does not consider your bank’s actual capital strength, underwriting quality, or risk appetite.

✅ Instead of a rigid limit, use loan-level and capital stress testing to determine the precise level at which CRE exposure could impact your institution’s survival in a severe downturn.
✅ Quantifying this threshold allows you to unlock additional capital for lending while staying well within safe regulatory guardrails.

With a customized, data-backed strategy, you can grow CRE lending confidently—without increasing risk.
